Gamifying Recycling

Terracycle (a company that turns recycled materials into consumer goods) has partnered with Guerillapps to create a Farmville-like Facebook game based on real life recycling practices.

"Trash Tycoon has players collecting glass, organic, plastic, architectural elements, paper, and jewelry. By using other tools like worms for composting, players are shown the kinds of useful products that can be made from recyclable goods."
